He was also called hurtful and disruptive. Can you elaborate on the difference between calling someone abusive and calling someone those other names?

Yet is there no truth to the fact that calling someone annoying, hurtful and disruptive is abusive?

All of this seems to stem from the fact that MisterB's opinions are a minority opinion. Why can't others be at least tolerant of his opinions? I don't agree with every thing he writes, but I still respect him, and I don't want to see him leave. Let's ALL get along. Let's all respect each other, not only those whose opinions are in the mainstream but everyone who seems to be earnest. I agree that this seems like a witch hunt, and it really makes me sad.Cass
